The Aborigines Of Western Australia is a book written by Albert F. Calvert. It provides a comprehensive account of the Aboriginal people who inhabited Western Australia before the arrival of Europeans. The book covers various aspects of the Aborigines' culture, including their language, social organization, religion, and customs. It also discusses their interactions with the environment and their daily lives. The author draws on his personal experiences and observations to provide a vivid and detailed account of the Aborigines' way of life. The book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Australia's Indigenous peoples. It offers valuable insights into the Aborigines' rich and complex cultural heritage and their enduring connection to the land.Many of our habits, doubtless, they refuse to imitate. They will cook their food on the embers, but object to boiling or steaming; most kinds of work they rather object to, but smoking and drinking are of course readily acquired. Praiseworthy efforts have been made by both Protestant and Catholic Missionaries among the natives of Western Australia; the most successful of the missions being that started by Bishop Salvado. This Monastic Institution at New Norcia--conducted by Spanish monks--was that spoken of by Sir F. Napier Broome, G.C.M.G., in a paper read by him to the members of the Royal Colonial Institute some years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
